Al Nassr’s stunning run of form continues, as the Saudi giants brushed aside Al Fateh in a thrilling 4-1 victory powered by a João Félix masterclass. The Portuguese forward netted a brilliant hat-trick to take his season tally to eight goals, cementing himself as Al Nassr’s top scorer and one of the standout players in the Saudi Pro League this season, Softfootball reports.
The win keeps Al Nassr four points clear at the top of the table, maintaining a 100% win streak with 19 goals scored and just two conceded a run that’s building beautifully on the momentum of their earlier triumph over fierce rivals, Al Ittihad. Cristiano Ronaldo, fresh off missing a penalty for Portugal against Ireland during the international break, missed another spot kick tonight but still managed to get on the scoresheet as Al Nassr’s attack once again dazzled under the Riyadh lights.

Tactical Observations From Supporters
Zee stated;
João Team Spirit
Advice: Look for a pivot player for yourselves to take some load off Brozović. When he came out, the team collapsed after the entry of the technical donkey Khephri, who runs blindly and causes gaps.
After the game, Al nassr took to it’s official X handle to thank fans and supporters for their incredible support as they continue their quest for a league title, the first in over 4 years. They posted;
With Félix firing and Ronaldo still finding ways to influence the scoreline despite recent penalty woes, Al Nassr look like a team with both flair and firepower. Their balance between European pedigree and Saudi finest has fans dreaming big and with this kind of form, the title charge feels very real.
